What entrepreneurs should discuss in online therapy ?
Entrepreneurs face unique challenges and stresses in their personal and professional lives.
Entrepreneurs are responsible for the success of an entire business and sometimes this leads to negative thoughts and unhealthy behaviors, in the pursuit of success.
This may lead to chronic stress, “high-functioning depression”, severe anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, substance abuse, and worst case scenario suicide.
Unfortunately, too many entrepreneurs WAIT until they’re in crisis.

Online therapy can be a helpful resource for entrepreneurs looking to address their mental health and well-being. Here are some topics that entrepreneurs might discuss in online therapy:
Work-life balance: Entrepreneurs often have demanding schedules and may struggle to find time for self-care and personal relationships. Online therapy can help entrepreneurs identify and address any work-life balance issues they may be facing.
Stress management: Starting and running a business can be stressful, and entrepreneurs may need help learning how to cope with the challenges they face. Online therapy can provide support and guidance for managing stress.
Decision-making: Entrepreneurs are often faced with difficult decisions, and it can be helpful to have a neutral party to talk through these decisions with. Online therapy can provide a safe space for entrepreneurs to process and make decisions.
Goal setting: Entrepreneurs may find it helpful to discuss their long-term goals and how to achieve them in therapy. A therapist can help entrepreneurs identify and work towards their goals in a healthy and sustainable way.
Workplace dynamics: Entrepreneurs may encounter challenges with their team, such as communication issues or conflicts. Online therapy can provide a place to address and resolve these challenges.
Overall, online therapy can be a valuable resource for entrepreneurs looking to address their mental health and well-being, and to manage the unique challenges they face as business owners.
